This March 1958 issue of Imaginative Tales contains the complete 20,000-word science fiction novel "Men of the Morning Star" by Edmond Hamilton, set on Venus and concerning a company diver-technician named Kerrick who becomes entangled in violent political conflict. After being attacked by Venusian assassins near a dock, Kerrick discovers his Company uniform has made him a target of what appears to be an organized resistance movement against the foreign mining operations of Jones & Lansing Sea-Mines on Venus's rich mineral-laden oceans. The issue also features several shorter stories including "Wanted: A Planet to Boss" by Tom W. Harris, "The Lure of Galaxy A" by Ivar Jorgensen, "Decision Final" by Robert Randall, and "Tag, You're It!" by Mark Reinsberg. Additional content includes a convention report by Forrest J. Ackerman on the London S-F Convention, columns on science fiction cinema and reader correspondence, and advertisements for self-help books on hypnosis.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
